Summary of Key Sustainability Indicators

Unless otherwise indicated, data are from our operations worldwide. Environmental data in this table are presented in absolute terms and normalized by sales (per $1,000 worldwide sales for worldwide data and per $1,000 U.S. sales for U.S. data). See the Environmental Performance section for a discussion of why Bristol-Myers Squibb normalizes data by sales.

(1) Net sales and research for the divested Medical Imaging business are not included for 2007.

(2) Definitions for diversity metrics changed as of 2006, 2007 data is unavailable.

(3) Direct Energy accounts for energy used at facilities and in travel. For 2006, the energy used by the U.S. fleet was reclassified from an indirect energy source to a direct energy source.

(4) Indirect energy accounts for electricity purchased from other sources.

(5) 2007 data for greenhouse gases from autos includes U.S. and Canada, prior years are for U.S. only.

Small discrepancies in data are due to rounding.
